Archery Gear Maintenance: Your Complete Monthly Checklist for Indian Archers 2026

Why Maintenance Is Part of Archery

In India, archery equipment faces unique challenges — dust from outdoor ranges, monsoon humidity, and heat from storage in warm homes and vehicles. Equipment that is neglected breaks down faster, performs inconsistently, and can fail at the worst possible moment — mid-competition. This guide gives you a plain, practical monthly maintenance routine with the right products from ArcheryAsia.com.

Weekly Checks — After Every Session

  • Check the bowstring for fraying: Any fuzzy or separated fibres means it is time to wax or replace the string.
  • Check brace height: Use the Beiter Limbs Line Gauge (₹628) to verify the distance is within your bow's specified range. If it has dropped, add twists to the string.
  • Check all arrows for cracks: Flex each carbon arrow gently. Any crackling sounds mean that arrow must be removed from use immediately.
  • Check limb attachment: Gently try to wobble each limb. If loose, tighten the limb bolts with your Allen key set.
  • Check the arrow rest: The Shibuya Magnetic Ultima Arrow Rest (₹3,500) should be firmly attached and not have shifted position.

Monthly Maintenance — The Full Checklist

1. Wax the Bowstring — ₹1,647

Apply TenPoint String Wax and Conditioner (₹1,647) to the full length of the string — avoiding the serving. Rub in with your fingers until fully absorbed. Every 2 to 3 weeks, more frequently during monsoon season.

2. Check and Tighten All Screws

Use the Easton Pro Fold Up XL Allen Wrench Set (₹1,113) or the Beiter Allen Wrench Set (₹2,500) to check and tighten every screw on your setup once a month. Do not over-tighten — firm is enough.

3. Check Tiller Bolts

4. Inspect Limbs for Damage

Once a month, remove limbs and look for: hairline cracks, delamination (layers separating), twisting, or damage to limb tip grooves. If you notice any of these, stop shooting immediately and contact us.

5. Check Dovetail Parts on Limbs

Inspect monthly. Replace if cracked or deformed:

6. Inspect and Clean the Riser

Wipe down after every session. Monthly: use a slightly damp cloth to clean all grooves, pockets, and threaded holes. Check locking screws:

7. Check Arrow Nocks and Points

Replace cracked nocks immediately with Easton Pin Nock Large .98 (₹1,546 for 12) or Small .88 (₹1,300 for 12). Re-glue loose points or replace with Victory Glue-In Point 3DHV (₹1,937 for 12).

8. Check Your Finger Tab

Replace when the leather shows significant wear. The Decut RUGBII Finger Tab (₹631) is affordable enough that replacing it every 3 to 6 months is a sensible habit for regular archers.
